Of all the politicians that have gained publicity in the last year, my favorite had to be Governor Palin. She had great values, clarity of purpose, and a message with consistency that rivaled Barack Obama’s. McCain’s biggest weakness in the campaign was he had no clear agenda. Even today most people couldn’t tell what he stood for. Obama however had a clear message. “We can change the world.” Young people felt that they could fix the mistakes of their parents. Older people could live securely. Change, change, change. McCain had no real answer to that. It would have been a closer race if he had been as clear as his running mate, Sarah Palin. Smaller Government, that was the goal, fewer taxes, and a revival of American principles. That was Palin’s platform. Simple, and with more substance than anything Obama said. But she was deeply ridiculed by the press. They thought her stupid and tried to discredit her. They didn’t succeed completely. However they were able to partly neutralize her effect on the election. However I feel she is far from being finished. She has an 80% approval rating in Alaska. A percentage any politician would envy. She is obviously a brilliant woman. One who has run a state well when Obama has yet to run anything bigger than a lemonade stand.
With this in mind why was she branded stupid and incompetent? Why was she considered a worse choice than the man that promises us a national crisis before July? Why is Joe Biden, who makes a gaffe a minute so superior to her? I am about to tell you. It is because she is a woman. Although the mainstream media nor the democrats never said it implicitly, the implied reason for her being unfit as vice president was her gender. Yes, the party of tolerance, the party where everyone gets a chance, discriminated against a woman. This is not really that surprising. The democrats are the same party that was anti-black in the sixties. And the same party that support slavery in the 1860’s. All of this is verifiable. And I plan to devote an entire post to the subject. You see, the liberal idea is, “We tolerate all people, as long as they are liberal.” What other reason did they have for calling her such an awful choice? Unless hockey moms are unpopular there really is no good reason. This is very important as it shows that the worldview of the left is not as tolerant as they have you believe. Nor is the right bigoted as the left claims. Which view will America embrace? Only God knows for sure. As for me, she is my first choice for election 2012.
